Garden Time!

We decided to try our hand at gardening again. Kevin's mom could make anything grow anywhere...we, on the other hand, tend to murder plants (unintentionally). Anyway, with the focus on preparedness, we decided to try again and we planted our Salsa Garden!!! (the exclamation points make it sound exciting...don't you think?) We have a cute little corner planter that Kevin expanded to make a little bit bigger. He had a lot of help from Tyson getting it ready, and Tyson loved getting dirty. (please excuse the plumber's crack...I would have edited it out, but I decided not to..what can I say?)
Tyson is actually bummed that he can't dig there anymore. Anytime during the day when I'd let him outside, he went straight for the dirt. We'll have to get sand back into the Sand Turtle. He loved getting filthy and working with daddy.
Here is view one...you can see the different varieties of pepper plants...New Mexico Big Jim, Jalapeno, Red Bell, Etc. We also planted peas along the fence and some leaf lettuce to the right of the peppers
View two. .. we have 3 tomato plants...two Best Boy and one Grape Tomato. We planted Cilantro between the peppers and the tomatoes and did a flower border for extra beauty. We also added the fence...hopefully it will keep Tyson and toys out of our garden.

If this works, we are going to make and can our own salsa which is really exciting since we eat a lot of it. We'll keep this updated...and if the plants die...well, we tried. :)
